Artist Tracey Emin, a long-time supporter of Pilgrims, has donated an incredible piece and Russell Tovey, British actor and much-loved Doctor Who star, brings some fun and vibrant summer art to the auction — generously donating pieces to help fund Pilgrims’ services.

Anthony Giles, celebrated Margate-based artist and gallery owner, is once again throwing open the doors of his studio, donating artwork and offering continued support to Pilgrims Hospices.

James Linington, local retired auctioneer, is generously giving his time to host the auction for the second year running — helping to raise every penny possible.

Diana King Jewellery, donated by Pilgrims supporter Mark Boland, will add sparkle to the mix, with two exclusive jewellery sets (necklaces and earrings) designed around the Pilgrims Hospices logo.

There are 100 amazing pieces of art, donated by a mix of famous names, local legends and artists from far and wide — each contributing their talent to help Pilgrims care for local people facing life-limiting illness.

The auction catalogue is on sale for £5, available from today (18 June) at the Anthony Giles Studio and Pilgrims Hospices’ reception in Margate
